Question

The geometry of $N{H}_3$ molecule can be best described as :

• A. Nitrogen at one vertex of a tetrahedron, the other three vertices being occupied by the hydrogen.
• B. Nitrogen at the center of tetrahedron, three hydrogen.
• C. Nitrogen at the center of an equilateral triangle, three comers being occupied by three hydrogen.
• D. Nitrogen at the junction of three open ends being occupied by three hydrogens.

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$N{H}_3\to \text{Hybridisation }\to s{p}^3\to \text{Geometry }\to \text{Tetrahedral}$
